Does the advice still hold true given this video?

Right, the most important keywords are the first one's on the left. If you feel it best to add a title, do it, but it will be slightly better Search Eninge Ranking wise to omit the title.

The site's name is Small Business Doer, and I'm targeting small businesses, so in a way yes.

That's a good point about wht makes someone click on a link, and a good brand name can help is what you're suggesting, as it seems more legit.

What I'm specifically wondering, is how big of an impact will a title with say a phrase comprised of 3 keywords be vs. that same phrase with the site titel appended to the end (which is another three keywords).

Will it make much of a difference in the search rankings by removing the site name from the end?

Thanks for the quick response. It's funny because I just disabled the All in one SEO Plugin default that appends my site title to the end of my posts.

So, you're saying that the branding outweighs the extra three words on a post?

In the tile of my post, shoudl I used my blog's name in it at the end or emit the blog name.

EX: title of post with keywords | name of blog

OR

EX: title of post with keywords

The site's name is 3 words long, so I'm worrying that those extra words are diluting the keywords in the post's name that I'm trying to target.
